In [J. Lond. Math. Soc., II. Ser. 30, 295-304 (1984; Zbl 0521.47005)] we gave necessary and sufficient conditions for an invertible operator \(T\) on a uniformly convex Banach space such that its inverse \(T^{-1}\) is a weak limit of polynomials of \(T\). This was an extension of analogous results on Hilbert space. We also proved that if \(T\) is a bounded quasinilpotent operator on a uniformly convex Banach space with \(0\not\in V(T)\), where \(V(T)\) is the spatial numerical range of \(T\), then every maximal nest of subspaces invariant under \(T\) is continuous. In this paper, we show that all these results are also valid on reflexive Banach spaces. Note that every uniformly convex Banach space is reflexive but not conversely. We also show, by giving an example that the condition \(T\) is a full operator is not equivalent to \(0\not\in V(T)\). Moreover, we prove an equivalent condition to the operator \(T\) is full and use it to prove that, when \(0\not\in V(T)\), the algebra \(A_{0\oplus T}\) generated by \(0\oplus T\) and the identity splits which means that \(A_{0\oplus T}= A_0\oplus A_T\).
